My homescreen isn't as smooth as the video reviews ive seen and was just curious if its because I didn't do the ota update or if my unit is defective? Just getting some pointers. I tried deleting sine Widgets. Launcher pro is sluggish as well. I'm trying to see if maybe an app I installed could be the cause
I notice when I run a live wall paper its pretty bad as well. I used a program to backup my apps off my old EVO and restored just the apps on my 3d....I'm starting to wonder if that may be the cause??

Sinse I updated my E3D, the homescreen hasn't been smooth either. Maybe its a bug.
Haven't updated yet but it runs like a beauty right now. Can't complain!
No update so no lag... WINNING
E3D
No update and my **** is smoother than Billy D Williams.
No update, the Green Friggin Hornut can wait. Smooth as butter with live wallpaper and ADW Launcher EX and several widgets.
My OG EVO would stutter with the live wallpaper.
I did all the updates and mine runs GREAT!! NO lag whatsoever

I did the updates, and then hard reset.
Its not super laggy, but its not 100% smooth.
Hope they fix this in an update sometime soon
Well ima do a hard reset and not restore all my apps with that program. Then see I'd the lag goes away

What did you use to restore your apps? I would suggest trying a factory reset, then install your apps back one at a time. You can use an app called 'app list backup' to save just a list of the apps you use. Then when you restore, it takes you right to the market to download the apps you need, one at a time. If you still have lag after the factory reset, then I'd be a bit concerned (my phone has 0 lag at all). What type of lag are you talking about? Scrolling homescreens? Opening apps? Scrolling your contacts? All of the above?
I'm pretty smooth..and as the day goes by I am more satisfied with the phone..this may be s stupid question ..but what is a hard reset ? A battery pull

A hard reset basically brings the phone back to the state in which HTC sent the phone to sprint. Deletes everything accept for the operating system.

Ima try that and see if it works. Ima do a factory reset and restore my apps one by one. Because none of my apps show up in in the market when I go to "my apps" menu.....just shows my purchased apps so I can't update them at all.
The lag is mainly rough scrolling through home screens and small delay when opening messaging app like 2 seconds....
I think the phone was smooth when I got.it but I can't remember. If it still rough after this ima take it back tomorrow and exchange it

I opened the Google Music Application and it decided to form it in landscape instead of portrait, oh well. My real gripe here is how the phone seems to be able to handle more effects and images smoothly in landscape rather than in portrait. I scrolled through all my albums in landscape without a hiccup, no reloads of album art or skips while scrolling and it seems even smoother to scroll than in portrait. In fact, as soon as I switched to portrait it froze n force closed.
Is there a reason for all of this?

For real. I've messed up one step here n there while flashing everything. It's really crucial to 1. Wipe data. 2. Clear cache. 3. Clear dalvik. Then flash everything in order, wether it be the ROM itself or the gapps. It's like number one to follow whatever order the Dev's instructions are. I cant tell you how many times I've had to SBF and redo everything in order for everything to run smooth and no lag. Barely any fc's as you stated. So yes, I think a fresh start and a clean install is exactly what you need.

I've had wave launcher on my phone since gingerbread, now I'm on I'VE and everytime I try to open the app itself to change some settings, it keeps giving me the message that it stopped working.

I have the same problem in my Galaxy SII with official ICS 4.0.3, the first times the app is active and I could go to the settings from the notification shortcut but when the app closed i couldn't opened anymore because when I try to open from the app drawer (that is the only way to active because the shortcut in the notification isn't there) it's always giving me force close.
The first times the wave is active when i restarted the phone because it was configured to open in startup but after two or three restarts it didn't activated anymore.
I tried everything I have installed all previous versions of wave launcher and the only that didn't give this problem is the 1.5 version but this version doesn't support widgets.
I don't understand why such a great application didn't receibed an update in 9 month, I hope the developer isn't dead
Sorry for my english.
I'm from Uruguay.
The only problem i had was the app would force close when launching from the drawer. So what i did was, i cleared the data, restarted and started from scratch again. of course the app still force closes when launching from the drawer and before, i hid the notification icon so there was no way to get to settings. Now its back and everything is working exept the only problem o had before, i have changed the settings and the apps i wanted to put are there. I can access it from the notication easily.

Have you tried Swipepad? I remember it being similar with Wave Launcher.... It even has more shortcut available (up to 12 I think)
I haven't used it for a couple months after resetting my phone though. So, I don't know if it works with ICS
waved launcher force close on ics
Me too.. ref: v1.8.1
Same force close problems.. Once I managed to get it up & running (that was the first & last).
Now I can't even get it to install, "unfortunately wave launcher has stopped"..
YES DELICATELY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ICS (like most fancy launchers like ultimate faves pro
So ive finally raged and unlocked my bootloader to get rid of the bloatware.. Still its damn laggy..Homescreen redraws Alter using the Browser or heavy games apps are slow to load( sometimes even 15 seconds for chrome...) help is really appreciated!!

Done this twice now.Nothing changed. This is just unacceptable.
I find ICS removing unused apps too fast from the RAM. For example if i go into contacts and Call someone and then in the browser it will take the contacts 3/4 seconds to load again.

Sounds like something you installed is causing it. Factory reset it. Force Closes are typically software related.
Its happened to me a couple of times as well on the gallery and tapatalk 2 app. It is few and far between so it doesn't affect me too much.

I used to have this problem on my OG Incredible, (haven't yet had it on my S3) and I would usually solve it by uninstalling/re-installing or clearing data on the apps that would force close. If every app is FCing though then it may just be easier to Factory Reset.

Hi,
I have 3 issues. Hope somebody can help:
1: Phone operates too slow. For example when I go to menu, app icons take around 5 seconds to appear. Similarly when I go to home screen it takes the same lag. So much delay that I could capture the screen short. You can see that weather clock and alarm widgets didn't appear. I cleared cache several times n restarts but it works fine for few mins n then again becomes laggy.
2: Keyboard disappears after typing few letters and sometimes it takes several secs to get it back. Reappearing delay is may be related to the above problem of slow response but why it disappears in first place.
3: Battery doesn't charge despite the whole night charging. Its happens not do often but really bugging me. I noticed that whenever I get missed notifications like calls or msgs it stops charging. Not sure why it's happening.
Looking forward to some help from experts. Please note that I feel these problems are occurring more after recent update. I'm using stock Rom of intl s3 version.

I am also on XXBLFB and facing no such issues. You should check if some app is not eating a lot of RAM.
Jelly Bean won't be available for this region anytime soon keeping in view the time it took S2 to receive ICS update here.
I suspect the same. my RAM doesn't go below 600mb even if I close all apps and clear ram from task manager. After restart, phone behaves well for an hour but then again becomes laggy. My S2 is much faster than this with lot more apps. This S3 is really disappointing me.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my suggestion is to do a factory reset (after backing up your contacts, messages, notes etc). then download your apps again and note the behavior of phone after each app. You might find the culprit then. It doesn't seem like an issue with the update since I also updated mine. Also very less likely its gonna be hardware issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Maybe the CPU is not working at its entire power. If the factory reset is not working, maybe you should go and replace the device, before it's too late. When you bought it ? If the phone have less than 30 days you should get an instant replace. Not sure that JB will help you, as the installation isn't like a "full format" of your phone
Hard reset: *2767*3855# (no warning message before formating, so type it when you're ready, also remove the sdcard if you don't want wiped too.)
Or *#*#7780#*#* - Factory data reset - Clears Google-account data, system and program settings and installed programs. system will not be deleted, and OEM programs, as well as My Documents (pictures, music, videos)
Thanks. Will get in touch with the vendor for replacement (though I'm sure he will not agree that easily) or else will do a complete reset. I'm really pissed off for spending this much for getting this device. Samsung is very serious in pushing their loyalists away!

Sometimes, there can be some errors. You know, nobody's perfect and we are all humans. After one week after I bought my phone, I found that it have sort of scratch on the screen, but looked like inside of it. It could be seen only in high light. The vendor replaced it instantly. This one is perfect. Love it and is extremely fast and I have many apps on it. Good luck!

Check in task manager, you should have an idea about how is going bad. Also change the antivirus for Avast. Avast is much better. However I recommend without antivirus. I just scan sometimes my phone with it or lookout but never leave the antivirus installed. Is just a waste of RAM memory.
If nothing works do a full backup with Kies and do the complete factory reset.
Most of the apps will be automatically reinstalled when you add back your Google account, but you need the backup for settings and saves.

Even with all the apps I have on my phone the RAM usage is around 580-640 (stupid SwiftKey using 45 mb most of time) and when I kill the apps I have 430 mb, slowly increasing til 530. Try reset, you have nothing to lose.
